Sorry, somehow my post went in before completed and I could not get addition on it???!!!. I used my PEG tube after this last surgery, right before the Holidays, I was trying to do too much and I had a lot of company and I ended up not taking very good care of myself. So we made a new rule on feedings, at least twice a day the feeding had to be in my bedroom with prop pillow or in chair, I could watch TV but only old sitcoms, or similar slow type programs. I could read but same rules. The drip would be slow, if On pain medications take before feeding, they seem to work better in the slow down mode. You can even light a candle of your favorite scent. You get to like this so much you do not want to give it up! I also went on a trip and was worried about how to use bag. Many people have floor lamps, good to use. Carry an S hook with you and you can fine ways.My ENT has hooks behind every chair, the nurse said for feedings and some people like a water drip after meds rather than the syringe. Big tip I got from Packer 66, you can put tea, coffee, soda or what ever liquid drink you like down your. tube. I often had a cup of coffee with reading the morning paper. If you have had any constipation from diet and meds this may help. Anyone else have any tips to improve life on a peg?
